'''Jamshed Khudadad (Jenni) Irani''' {{audio|Jenni_Irani.ogg|pronunciation}} (18 August 1923 &ndash; 25 February 1982) was a [[cricket]]er who represented [[Indian cricket team|India]] as a [[wicket-keeper]] in [[Test cricket]].<br />
<br />
Irani was born in [[Karachi]] (present-day [[Pakistan]], in the [[Sind Province (1936–55)|Sind]] province of [[British India]]) and made his debut in [[first-class cricket]] in 1937 at the age of 14, playing for Sind while still in school. He played his only two Test matches against [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] in 1947/48. In the match against an Australian XI at [[Sydney Cricket Ground|Sydney]], he scored 43 batting at No.11 and added 97 runs with [[Gogumal Kishenchand]]. However, he was the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a duck on debut (the only one until [[Ajay Ratra]] in 2002) and was replaced after two matches by [[Khokhan Sen]]. Sen remained India's wicket-keeper for 5 years, and Irani never played for India again.<br />
<br />
He studied in Bai Vibhaji Sopratiwala High School, and DJ Sind College in [[Karachi]], and also played for [[Bombay University]]. He worked for [[HBL Pakistan|Habib Bank]]. He died in his home town, Karachi, by then in [[Pakistan]].<br />
